I'm a master of the cast net.. This topic was covered a month or two ago and had lots of ideas.  I believe Avid posted it.  I'll try and find the topic.

ok,  try this.

Never saw it. Thanks!!  I tried to delete this thread and it just deleted my message.

the key is light line (no heavier than 4 lb test.... 2 or 3 if you don't mind dealing with it).

And a very small, light wire hook. A dry fly hook in a size 12 to 16 is perfect.

Bait ? Come on ! What fish can resist a worm ? :-) Red worms are perfect, but part of a mini crawler, or small earthworms work fine too.

Make sure to run your drag "really" light, to keep from ripping out that tiny hook.

If you are going to use a throw net, make sure to check if it's legal in your area. Throw nets are not legal, in the freshwater in my area.

.......which is fine, as I'm lousy with a throw net anyway :-)

Peace,

Fish
